Methods are provided for forming spliced connections in coverbraided ropes. The methods include forming a sling formed of coverbraided rope comprising the step of situating a void spacer adjacent to a portion of core rope. The methods may also include forming a strong spliced eye connection in coverbraided ropes including in tightly coverbraided ropes where a removable void spacer is used to create a tunnel into which a section of the same coverbraid sheath enclosing a strength member core is able to be positioned in between the strength member core and the coverbraid sheath enclosing the strength member core in the vicinityof the spliced eye¿s splice braid zone, thereby forming a spliced eye connection and thus accomplishing the objects of the present disclosure.
